So, you travel 550 Km to Tobermory, arrange a dive charter and find yourself on the same boat as three other Club members, Andrew, Etienne and Darren. That's a pleasant surprise on a perfect dive day. The guys were spending the holiday weekend with a friend up here. The good news, they got the opportunity to dive two of Tobermory's best wrecks; the Forest City and the Niagara II. 
The Forest City broke up after losing an argument with one of the many islands, the Niagara was sunk deliberately in 1999 to attract divers to the Marine Park. Visibility, again, was amazing. It has to be in the order of 80 feet or better. The water temperature though, is stubbornly stuck around the 39℉ (4℃) mark. Good for about 30 minutes, which is fine given that the depths are fairly well up there (120' on the Forest City - not the deepest point - and somewhere around 80' - again, not the deepest point - on the Niagara.)
Back to Kingston tomorrow, but probably not before we make another shore dive this afternoon.
